In several 2-player games, I found myself wishing my teammate discarded from the left instead of from the right, because it would make things much easier to handle.

So I’m thinking it would be good if there were a way to warn your teammate in such situations. The first thing that occurs to me is an empty clue.

Thoughts?

We like saving non-uniques when it’s safe!

(What is rightism?) A number of times I came across situations where I received a multicard clue including my second chop and it felt more logical to play rightmost. Would we be discovering a new case of rightism?

The following case shows this from the other point of view.

– B4 is the last played card
– we’ve been low on clues for a few turns (0-0-1-0-0-0-1)
– I want to clue blue (play right, then discard left) so that I can save G4 later

Looks like a new case of rightism to me. Any arguments for leftism?
